The hottest jobs in 2022 saw double-digit increases in wages, with some topping 14-30 percent wage growth, according to research from Payscale.com. These findings led to Payscale labeling these jobs as “recession-proof” because employers are spending more resources and money to fill these roles due to a void and increased competition. Among that list is a cable installation technician. The top positions earning higher pay in 2022 compared to previous years include Waiters/Waitresses, Private Bankers, and Media Directors. Most positions on this list represent jobs that have been particularly challenging to staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, the “Great Resignation,” and the volatile market we are experiencing now. Topping the list based on salary growth was waiter/waitress with a 30 percent increase. Private Banker, Media Director, Police, Fire or Ambulance Dispatcher and Sales Consultant ranked No. 2-5. Microbiologist, Marketing and Business Development Director, Dock Worker, Electrocardiogram (EKG) Technician and Installation Technician rounded out the Top 10 list.
It might be hard to believe it, but the United States has a problem throughout rural households and areas when it comes to high-speed internet connectivity and the digital divide. How is that possible in the digital world we live in now? Even in rural areas that have internet, it is often slow. This puts these areas at quite a disadvantage when it comes to being able to use cable and internet at home. It can limit or prohibit you from watching shows, surfing the web, etc. In urban areas, this is not an issue. A Whitepaper from the Fiber Broadband Association titled, “The Rural Digital Divide” stated that the lack of adequate high-speed broadband availability in rural areas compared to metropolitan areas has been a persistent challenge in North America for many years. That challenge only got worse during the pandemic – especially in the rural parts of the country.
Detailed weather maps, soil-mapping, GPS-dependent tractors, analyzing data points for trends, and the use of artificial intelligence to detect abnormalities such as human breaches are just a few examples of broadband-dependent technologies that would affect a harvest. For farmers involved with livestock, the use of drones to monitor animals is another incredibly helpful use of broadband internet-dependent technology. From a marketing perspective, having access to high speed internet empowers farmers to communicate to businesses the types of crops they are growing, facilitating a symbiotic relationship between the two sectors which would help eliminate many supply chain obstacles that have plagued the food industry for the past few years.
Residents living on the outskirts of Houston, Texas may have witnessed crews of trucks transporting a gargantuan piece of shining equipment through their communities. On Wednesday, June 15th, National OnDemand, Inc. partnered with Mid-South Electric Co-Op and Deep South Crane and Rigging to assist BWFS Industries in delivering a separator to a refinery in Old Ocean, Texas. Weighing in excess of a million pounds, the item was the size of a small building at over two stories high and nearly as long as a city block. National OnDemand assisted in the transportation of the equipment by raising the fiber network cables above the height of the load at every road crossing between Mount Houston and Old Ocean to avoid any network outages for customers in southeastern Texas. The collaborative endeavor resulted in a flawless delivery spanning 38 miles and 61 road crossings over the course of three days without a single outage, effectively delivering a refinery component necessary for increasing energy production in the United States.
